Oman today_ Guacamole is a traditional Mexican dip made primarily with avocado. This appetizer is typically served with tortilla chips, pita bread, or raw vegetables and is also a popular accompaniment for Mexican dishes like tacos and quesadillas.
Ingredients:
Ripe avocados: 2
Finely chopped red onion: 2 tablespoons
Freshly chopped cilantro: 4 tablespoons
Fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
Finely chopped tomato: ½ cup
Salt: to taste
Black pepper or chopped jalapeño pepper: to taste
Instructions:
1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
2. Place the avocado flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky—small avocado pieces add texture to the dip.
3. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, tomato, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado. Gently mix the ingredients until well combined.
4. Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt or pepper as needed.
5. Serve the guacamole immediately, or cover its surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate to prevent discoloration.
